Ramadan Kareem to all !!! May Allah accept our prayers and good deeds in this blessed month of Ramadan .

I was pretty excited when Lubna of Yummy Food , asked me to do a guest post for her Joy from Fasting to Feasting event. Lubna has been hosting this event for the previous 6 years. This year Lubna has invited Muslim Food Bloggers round the globe to share their favourite or traditional Ramadan Recipes . Thank you Lubna, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this event …

I have been following Lubna’s beautiful blog for quite some time. Especially her tutorial section on food photography … The photography series on her blog has helped me a lot to improve my photography skills.

Coming back to the dish.. Adukkupathiri is a traditional Malabar dish . In Malayalam, adukku means layers and pathiri means pancake made of rice flour. It is a sweet dish made by steaming alternate layers of rice flour batter and eggs.

An easy one pot meal.. If you are pressed for time, try this really delicious dish which can be prepared in less than half an hour.. All you need is a raita as accompaniment.. I found this recipe on the Vahrevah site, an awesome site by Chef Sanjay with lots of culinary delicacies and explained in a really interesting manner…
There are many variations for Tomato Rice – using tomato puree alone, or a combination of tomato puree and coconut milk.. Another way, which is also shown in the Vahrevah site, is to saute the onions and tomatoes and add the boiled rice. I tried out the first method and the result was immensely gratifying.. So without further ado , here’s the recipe…

It’s usually Vegetable Pulao for lunch (to make the kids eat their veggies without much fuss..).. Came across this rice preparation with mushrooms in one of my favorite cooking shows on TV. Mushrooms and rice??? Interesting… Made it with minimal changes : incorporated oregano and parsley as they go well with mushrooms... Result:Son who is not a big fan of mushrooms asked me to prepare it for him again.. Now this simple yet appealing dish is a recurrent item in our lunch menu…
